I'll probably still be alive when there's 9 billion people (even without life extension or health technology improving). But it's weird that there's such a huge gap between when we are expected to reach 9 and 10 billion -- predictions are that 9 billion will be reached around 2045, and 10 billion only around 2170 or so, over a hundred years later.
